On Friday, my friend and her tiny one and I, hit the country roads of Battle Ground, Washington for some garage saleing! It was a perfect sunny day, and I was without children to chase. Hoorah! We had such a good time and I came home with some serious good deals.

$1.00

I was more than giddy over this first purchase of the day. Seriously, $1.00?

My birthday cake will look wonderful in it next month!

$1.00

A rusty royal blue tool box.

It was to go in my Etsy shop, but I've since fallen in love with its hue.

$0.50

I felt the curviture of this frame was nice--but it will most likely undergo a paint job.

$6.00

Deal. I've been wanting a rustic/industrial cubby system in my craft room.

And I'm loving how it looks on my table!

I also picked up a few other items--a yard of Spiderman fabric, a couple Nike t-shirts and a dress for Brooklynn, to which she then informed me, she does not want to wear clothes from a garage sale. She's five. Yeah. And an 18x20 light turquoise frame for $0.50. All to the grand total of about $17.00.

Hooray for garage sales! I'm now addicted.

On my way home I also came across two boutiques. One called Real Deals that my Sis hits up practically weekly, in Missoula, Montana, and another called La Ti Da.
I can't wait to venture back for some home decor!

Oh, I'm so jealous about the cake stand. It looks like you could turn it upside down and make it into a trifle bowl. Yeay! And that drawer for your crafts looks perfect! All I find at garage sales are VHS cassettes for the grandkids and um, well, that's about it right now. I do have several furniture restoration projects in process; when I'm done with those I'll have room in my garage for some more projects to take on. Fun! BTW, we missed you on Saturday!! But your influence was felt. Love ya!

“You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.” ― Ray Bradbury
